This October, Canada Reads asked for nominations for the best novels from each of five regions across the country (British Columbia & Yukon, Prairies & the North, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces). The votes are in!

Head over to Canada Reads 2012 to find out which books made the cut and to vote for your favourite book in each region. Help your picks make the top 5! You can only vote once in each poll so choose wisely. Polls close Monday, November 12 at 11:59 p.m. EST and the top 5 regional contenders will be revealed on Q and the Canada Reads website November 14.

Do you remember the carefully-folded, handmade fortune tellers from your childhood? Under each flap lay a different, extreme fate: "You will be rich and famous," "You will live a hundred years," "You will have 20 children" and so on. Dani Couture – author of Good Meat and the forthcoming collection Sweet (Pedlar Press) – has put a poetic spin on the Fortune Teller. She's created three Poetry Fortune Tellers for National Poetry Month and asks you to "Let the poets guide your next move."

Print the first Fortune Teller, Mortiz, Robertson, Rogers, & Wright, today. The second will be on her site on April 7th and the third on April 21st.
